So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
Till you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you almost wasted away
You had to win
You couldn`t just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colours
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history

Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please

So you never know
How low you`d stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground till they mad you crawl
And you never knew that
The heaven you keep you stole

Your catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick on tattoos
Now they`re making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the booth of your car

Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please
Leave me out of this

So love is hard and love is tough
But love is not what you`re thinking of

September
Streets capsizing
Spilling over
Down the drain
Shards of glass splinters like rain
But you could only feel
Your own pain
October
Talking getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again

Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please
Please

So love is big bigger than us
But love is not what your thinking of
It`s what lovers deal
It`s what lovers steal
You know I`ve found it hard to receive
`Cause you my love I could never believe
